25 Random Things About Me...Lazily Pasted from Latest Facebook Craze
- I used to hide money in my Eddie Money CD case.
- One summer as a child, I decided to build a time machine out of
spare tractor parts from my dad's shed. I truly, truly, truly believed
it would work, and that the important part was to spray it with starter
fluid when I was ready to go. I was going to go back to the 1850s,
because I wanted to wear a big fancy hoop dress.
- When I'm home alone, I talk to myself. Constantly. I'm sure my
downstairs neighbors must think I am on the phone ALL THE TIME. I hope
they don't realize that I'm talking to the TV, my computer, my dinner,
etc. Sometimes when I walk to the bus in the morning, I catch myself
talking to myself out loud.
- I had a prophetic dream about my sister Lindy's first pregnancy. I knew she was pregnant before she did.
- Even though I am 31 years old, any time I pass a pasture with horses in it, I still squeal: "PONIES!!"
- I sometimes have irrational panicky moments where I just *know* I'm
going to find snakes in places where snakes shouldn't be: the shower,
the refrigerator, glovebox, etc.
- I never learned to drive standard. This is one of the things I am most ashamed of in my life.
- I was once hired to work in the office of Cowtown Truck Driving
School in Fort Worth, but when I showed up, the guy who hired me had
quit and no one else had any idea who I was or why I was there.
- I cry at almost every single Grand Slam tennis tournament trophy
ceremony. Double especially when Federer wins and/or cries.
- I regret not ever helping my dad out on the farm. I'm the sorriest
excuse for a farm girl ever, and if I could do it all over again I
would change that. I desperately wish I knew how to drive a tractor and
do mechanic work and vaccinate cattle and ride horses. I think I would
be a much smarter and more interesting person if I had.
- Despite what everyone thinks, I actually don't like black metal
music at all. I admit to being totally fascinated with the mythology
and sociology and criminology surrounding the black metal movement, but
I find the actual music completely unlistenable.
- My dad's twin sister went to the convent and was almost a nun. My
dad's older brother studied at seminary and was almost a priest.
Neither went through with final vows. CORRECTION TO ORIGINAL POST - My aunt actually was a full-blown nun for 10 years!
- In the event of a zombie apocalypse, I don't think I would be brave
enough to fight back or run. I think I would probably just throw myself
towards the zombies and get them to bite me and just get it over with.
- I can crack just about every joint in my body.
- As a child, I pretended that I ran an HR office for a medical
practice. I had all sorts of application forms for various types of
doctors: bone doctors, brain doctors, blood doctors, etc. The
applications consisted of yes/no questions like: "Do you have the
skills for this job?" My sisters would humor me and fill out these
applications so I could process them.
- I keep a list in a keepsake box of all the boys I've ever kissed.
It's on the same piece of paper as when I started the list when I was
14.
- I don't get that much pleasure out of food. I mean, I definitely
enjoy yummy and/or familiar foods, but typically new and exotic foods
cause me more stress than excitement. If you told me I had to live on
bread and water for the rest of my life, I would be okay with that.
Maybe even relieved.
- Back in the days when you didn't know what bands looked like, I
imagined that David Lee Roth looked like Ralph from Happy Days.
- I once met the Honky Tonk Man in Shamrock, Texas. He was wearing a wind suit with boat shoes.
- During my very very very very brief (and unsuccessful) skater betty
phase, I had my friend paint my skateboard deck John Deere green with
the logo on it.
- I won just about every single spelling contest in my district from about 1987-1995.
- I have never been in a fight.
- I have never broken a bone.
- I have never had stitches.
- I can't figure out how to tag 25 people. It's only letting me tag 10. Quit making me look stupid, Facebook!
and as my friend Corbett so kindly appended... - Halee owns a Star Trek uniform.
